every day call, no answer

keep calling, one by one (416) 360-4084, (416) 360-1176 and (416) 861-0870
May be one person's call

Called again, at 9:41am today.  The Caller ID box intercepted the call and life is good.

As Ronald Reagan said, There you go again.These jerks called again today.  Unfortunately for them, I "resurected" an old stand alone Caller ID box that can block nuisance calls.  Phone rings once and then the caller id box answers and plays a message that we are not accepting calls.

A fellow named Vic called from this number and claimed to have left a message yesterday, to which I called him out on it since I do not own an answering machine nor could my fish have taken a phone message since I haven't taught him that trick yet.

Several weeks ago I was phoned to tell me I had won 1 of 5 prizes for a draw I entered in December at the local mall (but I did not even live in the province in December so I know that is not where they got my number) The President of the company, James Robinson, could barely speak English but heard my skepticizm. He gave me a phone number to call back if I changed my mind (718) 673-6170, this is a number in New York (Bronx, Queens, area). It is likely some timeshare company wanting you to hear their pitch.

I have been receiving many calls a day with no one at the other end. Yesterday there were at least 5 calls. Today there have already been 5 calls. So I stopped answering the phone when the numbers (416) 360-1176 or (416) 360-4084) appeared in my display. Then they tried a new number (416) 350-5218.

I think the 2 situations are related. The constant calls are driving me nuts!

When I called Bell to complain they suggested I register for the new national Do Not Call List for telemarketers. You can register on Sept 30, 2008 at www.crtc.gc.ca. Telemarketers who call you can be fined. There is also another do not call list at www.the-cma.org but the list is only followed by members of the Canadian Marketing Association.

Hope this works and hope helps someone else. Good Luck
